Celtic hosts Kalju in the first leg of the Champions League qualification quarterfinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 24th at Celtic Park (Glasgow)
The stalwart of Scottish football met with the Bosnian club, Sarajevo, in the first qualifying round and eliminated it without any problems, winning both matches. In the first game away, the team from Glasgow did not focus on the game immediately and conceded the goal, but towards the end of the first half, the players managed to level the score. In the second half, Celtic began active attacks and moved the ball across the field in an intrinsic manner; the players began to dribble more often. In the end, Sarajevo could not stand and conceded 2 goals. As for the second game, everyone knew that the Bosnians wouldn’t win back in Scotland. Thus, Celtic approaches the match with the Estonian club in great shape, and the players are in a great mood + the first game will take place at the home stadium, with the support of their fans.

Nõmme Kalju, unlike Celtic, advanced to the second qualifying round with some difficulty (one might say it slipped). In the first round, the club from Tallinn got the Macedonian team, Shkendiya, which created problems. Kalju held the first match at home and lost with a 0-1 score, having failed to show anything and allowed 8 shots on target. In the second match, the Estonian team managed to gather all the forces and barely beat Shkendiya. Kalju performs well in the national championship, but there are no teams with such a level that Celtic has.
The first match will be held at the stadium of the Scottish club. It is completely incomprehensible what the visitors are going to oppose the opponent, even if the victory over the Macedonian Shkendia was gained with great difficulty. Celtic will surely want to decide the outcome of the confrontation in the first game. When choosing a bet, I stopped at H1 (-2.5). The home team surpasses the visitors in all components of the game, and there is no reason why they would not be able to reach the handicap that I proposed.
Prediction for the match: Celtic to win with -2.5 handicap
